From ec38ea9597b3c5ebcf71ff4d07a3ffc1c010bbee Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Fangrui Song Date: Thu, 26 Aug 2021 17:41:24 -0700 Subject: elf: Unconditionally use __ehdr_start We can consider __ehdr_start (from binutils 2.23 onwards) unconditionally supported, since configure.ac requires binutils>=2.25. The configure.ac check is related to an ia64 bug fixed by binutils 2.24. See https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2014-August/053503.html Tested on x86_64-linux-gnu. Tested build-many-glibcs.py with aarch64-linux-gnu and s390x-linux-gnu.
